About This Bowl

Hormones are your body's chemical messengers. Multitudes of hormones help maintain homeostasis on a daily basis. They help control every physiological process in your body, including metabolism, immune system, reproduction and for women, menstrual cycle. Hormone imbalance means having too little or too much of a hormone. It is normal for hormone levels to fluctuate at different times in your life, or even at different times of the month but a hormone imbalance is usually associated with levels that are unusually high or low, which can have a negative impact on certain aspects of your health. A hormone imbalance can affect your weight, sleep and mood. Hormone issues can affect men or women at any stage of their lives from puberty onwards.

Feeling bloated, irritable, tired or just not yourself? A hormone imbalance could be to blame. A precise hormone balance is vital to proper body functioning. Specific foods can aid and negatively affect your hormone balance, so eating a well-balanced diet is essential for hormonal processes such as the conversion of inactive to active T3, insulin production and sensitivity, mood and energy.

Hormone issues can affect women at any stage of their lives from puberty onwards.
During menstruation women can lose up to half their magnesium supply so our Betterbowls are heavily magnesium based. Magnesium also supports throughout stages of menopause by supporting the nervous system, sugar cravings, sleep, as well as healthy bone density. An effective hormonal protocol should include dietary features that directly address aspects of the gut that heavily influence hormonal balance especially during menopause and menstruation.

Building your diet around your hormones will ensure your body has these essential nutrients to keep them in check. Bonus side effects may include glowing skin, an improvement in mood, fertility, and higher energy levels.
